Lol, I think we all know Chicago had population decline from 1960-2000 where it experienced a growth rate of 4.0%. .
Between 1950 and 2000 Chicago lost almost 800,000 people. In the same time New York gained 900,000. In the same time LA became the second largest city in the US. Growth? What growth? Chicago is dying...

Well, can you blame them for mass exodus? And who can blame anyone for not wanting to move to that dreary gray city?
Chicago is just a cheap, small, dangerous, provincial, frigid, imitation of New York surrounded by cows. It will forever be in New York and LA's shadows. The only people that care about Chicago are the few remaining residents and fans on City-Data.com..... I rarely hear anybody mention Chicago outside of this board.
FYI, Germany is losing population too. So is Russia. And Japan. France is barely breaking even and will probably start losing population.
dementor and euro are very naive...NYC will have another rough spell, and I bet it's within our lifetime. Almost all of NYC's population increase has been due to foreign immigrants who have no loyalty to NYC...what immigration giveth it can taketh away. By the way, the increase in population sure hasn't made much of a dent in NYC's ($16 billion) and the MTA's ($2 billion) budget deficits. Not adding much to that tax base, eh?
For a city you Chicago people think has the best architecutre, how come I never see photos of Chicago that look nicer than all these stunning NY pics I see, both on here and on film?
I've been to Chicago years ago and I hardly even remember what it looks like. So forgettable.
Off topic... Imagine euros second downtown Manhattan picture when all the world trade center towers are completed . Stunning!

LOL. $16b? the worst deficit NYC ever faced was the $12b deficit in 1975. the deficit is only $4b now. i'm sure you just pulled a random number out of your ass to sound like you know what your talking about. did you really think people would believe such an obviously exaggerated number?

Sorry, 'twas the NY state deficit. Regardless, it's a lot on all fronts.

umm you do know NYC and LA are also surrounded by cows. Remember happy cows come from California as the commercial says and the many farms in the state of New York

There are plenty of farms in both states,but they don't surround the cities.
